Hubris, thy name is Lyssie
*chuckle* At school. I'm such a scamp.
Can't get on MY computer, so no mIRC. sigh.
The title up there is because, in my first class, I was feeling all smug. I'd done the problem on the board, it was perfect. *I* was perfect...
And I suddenly realised it wasn't perfect.
Pride goeth before a fall...
Yesterday, the River's Vic Porcelli (sp?) read an editorial from a Canadian (Toronto, iirc) newspaper. It was... Not bad. I'd had the wild thought it might've been Dex's...
But it wasn't. It was some dude named Gordon I think.
Anyway, in it, the editorial mentioned the San Francisco earthquake. When Vic finished the reading, he remarked--in a puzzled tone--that the editorial was written in 78, which was before the SF earthquake.
...
OK. My memory isn't THAT strong on dates... But wasn't there an earthquake in SF, in 1908?
And people wonder why Americans are considered stupid. *mutter*
Want to go to Chicago. DreaCon. Must get away from St. Louis... Must call mom tonight from work and beg.
I don't want to ride the bus up. I will, if I have to. But I LOATHE the idea.
I can do it, normally, but...
I'm making a carrot cake. Partially in honour of Indigo's birthday, and partially because I thought I should.
There is no way to take that in a BUS. Not for 7 hours.
Ick.
